Environmental Ethics

This book explains the basic concepts of environmental ethics and
applies them to global environmental problems. The author concisely
introduces basic moral theories, discusses how these theories can be
extended to consider the non-human world, and examines how environmental
ethics interacts with modern society's economic approach to the
environment. Online multiple-choice questions encourage the reader's
active learning.

"Andrew Kernohan's Environmental Ethics: An Interactive Introduction
is a fantastic text. Among its many strengths is the fact that it goes
deeper into the intersection of environmental ethics, public policy, and
economics than any other introductory text I have seen, and makes the
important but often difficult ideas that lie in that intersection clear
and accessible to complete newcomers. Additionally, its online component
is ample and well-constructed, and a terrific resource for instructors
and students alike." - Craig Duncan, Ithaca College

"It is high time that philosophers do more than speculate amongst
themselves about issues of environmental ethics. Andrew Kernohan not
only provides an interactive teaching tool, but equally importantly, he
invites the reader to do environmental ethics. This engaging volume
shows how philosophy can be vital to matters of environmental decision
making and public policy." - Ingrid Leman Stefanovic, University of
Toronto
